Story

The Champions

Presently, over 120 active and/or retired National Team, Olympic and Paralympic athletes from across Canada have joined as members of Clean Air Champions. These Champions are passionate about our mission for a variety of reasons: many suffer from respiratory illnesses worsened by air pollution which can be detrimental to their athletic careers; others have careers in medicine or environmental sciences and understand the seriousness of the issues as they relate to human health and our planet; while others are concerned about the lack of exercise, and increasing rates of obesity and asthma in today’s youth. Whatever their reasons, these athletes are committed and passionate about helping to fulfill the mission of Clean Air Champions.

Tasters Review:

Our friends at Shanti Tea in Canada have done it again!  They’ve come out with another lovely black tea.  And not just any black tea…a ChariTEA!  (Read above if you haven’t already)

The aroma of this one is that of a fairly strong black tea.

What really made me swoon was the color after infusing it!  It’s a gorgeous deep burgundy color.  Both the aroma and the color of the tea made me crave the bold taste from there-on-out!

This is a bold – but not bitter – black tea.  It’s malty yet well-rounded!  The aftertaste is pretty pleasant, too.  It’s smooth on the tongue and warms the heart!  I really REALLY like this tea!  This is one of those unflavored black teas that everyone should have on hand!
